Kamloops Riverside Park

Located 400 kilometers from Vancouver, the city of Kamloops, also transliterated as 'Kamloops', gets its name from the indigenous language, meaning 'the place where rivers meet'. The central urban area of Kamloops is situated in the expansive Thompson Valley. From a high vantage point, one can see the sunlight, resembling immense beams of light, spreading over the small city, creating a magical scene that seems as if it's straight out of the 'Book of Revelation'. As the confluence of the South and North Thompson Rivers, Kamloops is surrounded by over 200 large and small lakes. Coupled with more than 2000 hours of sunshine annually, it makes for the perfect place to enjoy outdoor life. Whether it's fishing, hiking, horseback riding, or various water sports, all can be easily satisfied here.
